Rather than continue to discuss Safari in an unrelated thread , I thought by making one just for Safari might help.Marc, are you able to post using Safari on those istuff, or just read the forum? I can't help with any suggestions .. I don't have any istuff, and frankly , I am not an Apple fan .

I can post with Safari. Matter of fact I was on safari with the kids ipod, as I stated, when I posted. The admin can confirm this via the logs (user agent etc).

No issue at all, aside from normal slowness due to the site not being optimized for mobile browsers. This is in Beta still (mobile phBB for this forum) from what I can make out from phBB developer site.

Also, I see no standing issues with phBB and the ipod or ipad on the phBB site, aside from some minor stuff.

Kat and BBQ should double check that they have the latest version of everything or their settings at default type thing.

Works for me.

OK.. They have something to work on .. maybe compare versions and settings so they may be able to make them work.. I wonder if something as simple as clearing cache in them would make a difference ( if indeed there is a manual cache clearing routine in their browsers .. I know mobile browsers are a simplified and limited subset of the main ones for PCs and Macs

This forum, as with many types of forum/site software, requires java to be running and working in order to upload pictures (doesn't require it to post). So in Kat's case, if she has some flunky pre-java OS on her ipad, it just won't work with this forum. This is solely an apple issue. Not a forum issue. Not a browser issue, per se. But, rather an iOS issue.

Update, update, update.

As a test, turn off Java and try to upload a picture. It will upload.Now try to "place the image in-line". Work? Nope. Java related, which some iOS versions lacked.

People paid a lot of money for a loser OS.

Obviously this isn't the only potential issue since java isn't required to post. But goes to show that an old version won't work as you expect anyhow.

Update, update, update.

No one seemed to have clarified the real issue aside from "Can only read, Can't post".

Have they cleared the cache?

Can she log in at all?

What happens when she hits the login link? Or the "reply to post" link? Are they presented with the login screen?

No one seems to mention anything aside from "can't post". heh

Also, on OS-X, after apple did some updates back a few months ago, their update disabled java. Has BBQ since re-enabled it? Has she updated her operating system? Does she see anything on the iMac (OS-X) safari browser that says something like, "Inactive Plug-in"?

But I don't think this should prevent someone from posting. At least, not that I know of. But never know...

Alternatively you can download onyX for mac and it will clean out a bunch of crap for you http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx, but you will have to delete cookies and history manually in safari as shown above.

Hi you guys. I have an ipad with an upgrade to the most recent operating system. I cant tell you much more than the fact that my daughter cleared the 1 year old machine off and installed the newest operating system a month ago. It has Safari. I can access the CG web site on the ipad, but when I try to log in, it accepts my log in, thinks about it for a sec, then puts up the same blank log in screen with the blank spot for my user name, and blank spot for my passcode. I can do this over and over again, its Pavlovian. I start to regret yet again my polysyllabic name and rediculous passcode. Then I give up and save up what I have to say or post till i can get on my work PC or my Dell Portable. my Apple ipad is fun, and I can log onto to other sites and communicate, but its very exclusive who it will let me talk to. Apparently Canadian Gardening site is too something or other.

So if I dont respond its not that I dont want to, but that I cant. And as far as I am concerned, both Canadian Gardening AND Apple should get it together. I for one am tired of being made to feel like a technophogie just because I dont feel much like learning how to remove cookies, or what ever the heck Im supposed to do. A machine should work in my opinion, and not constantly be this exclusive, mysterious and sensitive piece of crap that doesnt work half the time.

Maybe try changing your CG password to something less like an ICBM launch code and see if that works.. It does sound like a setting or plug-in of some sort that CG is choking on .. Aren't computers and technology fun ?
